Sugar cookies! Delicious cookies, fun to decorate! Sugar cookies can be made for a party anytime of the year, since they can be frosted and decorated in many ways.

These (gluten-free) cookies that my sister, Suriyah, makes are a roll-out cookie - that way the surface is flat and easy to frost and decorate. The dough is nice, a pleasure to work with and they stay together well.

Need a little extra somethin' to spice up your party? These are perfect!

Amazing Sugar CookiesAdapted from (Gluten-free, Dairy-free, can be made Corn-free*)

Cream fat & sugar. Add egg and vanilla. In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients. Add to the sugar mixture. Roll out to about 1/4 inch thickness and cut either with cookie cutters into shapes or use a canning jar band (large or small, whatever size you want). Bake at 350 for 7 to 10 minutes.

Notes:
*To make this corn-free, substitute 1 teaspoon baking soda + 1 teaspoon cream of tartar in place of the baking powder.

I hope you had a good Thanksgiving! I did with my family. Today? We're having another party very soon! Friends are coming home, a friend's birthday is today and a 2nd Thanksgiving."I will praise the name of God with a song, And will magnify Him with thanksgiving." Ps. 69:30"giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ," Eph. 5:20~ HanunyahLink Parties:Gluten-Free Wednesdays @ The Gluten-Free HomemakerAllergy-Free Wednesdays @ The Tasty AlternativeGluten-Free Fridays @ Vegetarian Mama

Thanksgiving already? Yep, 2 days! This year we're going to our Grandma's. She's making the meal, but she's not making it allergy-friendly . . . so we have to make a meal for those of us who don't eat that. Which is fine, but it's contamination we're concerned about. Thankfully, we're bringing the desserts so that should make it a bit easier.

We (my sisters and I) made a list of desserts we plan on making:

Super Simple and Good Fudge Brownies - a little chocolate is good at every party, right?Pumpkin Pie is a yummy classic to the Thanksgiving table, even without a crust. For plenty more pumpkin dessert options, see my Pumpkin Sweets Recipe Round-Up.Oatmeal Creme Pies are like spiced up oatmeal cookies!Pear and Apple Pies . . . Sorry no recipe up! Just in case I don't get to posting tomorrow: It's really simple. Basically mix up 1 cup sugar, a few cups of the fruit, a teaspoon or 2 of cinnamon, pour that into an unbaked pie shell and bake for about 40 to 50 minutes. I made some pear pies the other day, didn't really measure (although, probably should've) and they were gone!Peanut Butter Cookies - more yummy cookies for the party!Turkey Cookies- Nicole @ Gluten-Free on a Shoestring posted a great idea, and we like it! This can be part of a school project and Thanksgiving!GAPS variations of pumpkin and apple pies (basically honey instead of sugar, and almond flour for rice flour).

Hello! I'm back with a recipe and a new blog design. The blog design is brand new - my sister Suriyah and I just did it today! The recipe? It's not brand new, but revised from over a year ago.
So, today I have a nice coffee cake (although my family doesn't eat it with coffee). My sister says the nuts "make it".

2. Stir together milk, vinegar, egg, and soda; add to remaining crumb mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Pour over crumb crust in pan. Stir together granulated sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle cinnamon mixture and pecans evenly over the batter in the pan.

3. Bake at 350F for 25 to 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean.

new design + name

As of 1-3-12: I've re-named my blog name (which used to be "Hanunyah's Sweet Creations") to "Ranch Girl's Sweets 'N' Treats". "Sweet Creations" is a pretty common name, so I figured I'd change it to something a little different ;). My URL is still the same, though.

Also, a big thanks goes to my older sister (@ CountryGirlWebDesign.com) who has re-designed my blog and fixed-up all of the HTML. So, I hope you enjoy the new layout!

About Me

Welcome to my blog! My name is Hanunyah, which means "God is Gracious" in Hebrew. My 10 siblings, myself, and our parents live in the beautiful country of Northeastern Oklahoma. We run a ranch with just about every farm animal (goats, sheep, pigs, rabbits, chickens, ducks, guinea hens, dogs, cats, donkeys, etc.).
My family and I have food allergies and intolerances - which include gluten, grains, cow dairy and corn. So we cook from scratch and grow a lot of our own food.
I am 14 years old. I enjoy raising dairy goats, drawing, photography, and baking/candy making.
Above all, I believe you must fear God and give Him glory to escape eternal torment. See www.atruechurch.info
Feel free to leave questions and comments :)!
